1、天道酬勤高考英语书面表达增加细节的五大技巧罗雪梅 李思灯纵观近五年20232023年高考英语全国卷书面表达,都是书信体裁,根本以文字提纲的方式呈现,要点明确,任务具体,结构清晰。试题的“注意局部要求考生“可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。这种灵活的命题方式既给了考生较大的发挥空间,又对考生提出了更高要求。高考英语作文评分标准第五档很好:21-25分,涵盖了如下特点:完全完成了试题规定的任务:1覆盖所有内容要点;2应用了较多的语法结构和词汇;3语法结构或词汇方面有些许错误,但为尽力使用较复杂结构或较高级词汇所致,具备较强的语言运用能力;4有效地使用了语句间的连接成分,使全文结构紧凑,完全到达了预期
2、的写作目的。而在考试中,有些考生无话可说,仅仅简单翻译所给信息点,文章显得单调乏味,字数缺乏;有些考生信口开河,随意发挥,导致详略不当,偏离主题。因此,如何合理有效地增加细节是书面表达题得分的关键。下面我们以历年高考真题为例谈谈增加细节的五大技巧。一、增加交际功能性语言书信体是一种具有很强交际功能的应用文体,通常有明确的目的,或为了增进感情,或为了获取信息,或寻求帮助等,注重实用性,语言朴实简洁,结构相对稳定。为了创造准确、实用、真实的文本语境,我们可以在书信的开头和结尾适当添加交际功能性的语言。如围绕作者和读者之间的关系,添加得体的交际用语。1. 收信人和写信人是朋友关系。在书信的开头可以添
3、加问候语How are you doing these days? 或根据题目提供的语境增加适宜的应酬语。如2023年全国I卷:假定你是李华,正在教你的英国朋友Leslie学习汉语。请你写封邮件告知下次上课的方案。可以增加以下细节:Dear Leslie,How are you doing today? I am very glad that youve been making great progress in your Chinese learning. Now I am writing to inform you of our course schedule of our next cl
4、ass.通过题目中的情景“正在教你的英国朋友学习汉语,补充与之相关的交际话语你的中文进步很大,自然地引入写信的目的,符合交际实际,使信件显得自然得体。2. 收信人是长辈或地位高一点的人,或陌生人。在信件开头可以补充自我介绍,以表尊重。如2023年全国卷:假定你是李华,暑期在伦敦学习,得知当地美术馆要举办中国画展览。请写一封信申请做志愿者。Dear Sir,My name is Li Hua, a Chinese student who is currently studying in London in this summer.结合题目中设置的情景,增加个人身份介绍,合情合理,符合交际需要。3
5、. 回应来信所提问题,自然引出写作目的。有些书面表达题,要求考生根据题目要求,给对方回信。在這类信件中,在信件先提及对方的来信内容,说明回信背景。如2023年全国I卷:假定你是李华,你的新西兰朋友Terry将去中国朋友家做客,发邮件向你询问有关习俗。请你回复邮件。可以这样开篇:Dear Terry,Im very delighted to receive your letter saying that you are going to visit a friend in China. As for the customs youve asked about, I have some tips
6、for you.用“Im very delighted to receive your letter saying that .很自然地说明了写信背景,点明写作目的。4. 根据信件不同的写作目的,补充适当的开头和结尾。不同类型的信件一般会有特定的格式,我们要用心去整理和归纳。如建议信:写作目的I am writing to give you some practical/constructive suggestions.信件结尾I do hope that youll find these suggestions useful/ beneficial/helpful.二、扩充写作要点的具体内容
7、书面表达题一般会有文字提纲和写作要点提示,我们要根据提示要求,通过列举等添加与要点相关的具体内容。如:12023年全国I卷,内容包括:时间和地点。We will have our next Chinese lesson in Room 501, Building 1 this Friday evening, starting at 7 oclock.在这个句子中,补充了具体详细的时间和地点。22023年全国I卷内容包括:个人优势。Born into a family which attaches great importance to traditional Chinese culture,
8、I have been learning Chinese painting ever since I was in primary school, which enables me to get the hang of the knowledge of Chinese painting, including the styles, skills and history behind it.增加了个人优势对中国画的了解,同时用such as 列举了流派、技巧、历史等,使内容充实又具说服力。三、添加句子成分,拓展句子,充实文章在要点句根底上适当增加符合逻辑的附加成分,如定语从句,状语从句如原因、目

10、oung as well.在要點句“学习唐诗的根底上,添加了形容词fantastic及定语从句,内容充实,语言丰富,富有感染力。2. 明确交待原因。交待原因是为了使句意更完整,防止给读者留下疑问。交待原因通常可以借助介词短语或原因状语从句,如owing to, due to, because of, thanks to, as a result of, because, as, since, now that等词语引导。如:2023年全国卷你能做的事情I can act as a guide for the visitors, as I am not only familiar with th
11、e Chinese paintings but also capableof explaining the meanings and beauty hidden behind them in English fluently.3. 清晰说明目的。在句子中使用说明目的的词语,如: so as not to, in order to, so that, in order that, for the fear that, for the purpose of等,使句子条理清晰,逻辑性强。如:2023年全国?域卷赛前准备In order to provide the students with a f
12、antastic match, we need to have enough training.4. 恰当补充条件,增强表达效果。可以通过if, as long as, only if, unless, provided that, supposing that等引导条件状语。如:2023年全国?域卷赛前准备。Only if we devote ourselves to practicing hard before the match can we have the chance to win the championship.5. 合理延伸结果。可用so that, so . that, s

15、段落与段落之间适当增加过渡词语或过渡句,以使文章浑然一体,提高说服力。例如,如果是表达事情开展经过的,可以用first, then, later, finally等词语或 when, before, after, until引导的状语从句等连接过程;表示递进关系可用besides, moreover, furthermore, whats more, whats worse;表示转折关系可用however, on one hand, on the other hand, on the contrary, in contrast等;表示因果关系可用therefore, so, hence, as a result, consequently等。如:2023年全国?域卷2. 活动:包饺子,表演节目等。We will make dumplings and put on performances and so on.On that day, there will be variety of activities.
